Flatbush Cats

In the wealthiest city in the world, so many of our neighbors’ pets are not receiving the veterinary care they need. That’s why we’re building a brand new nonprofit clinic in Brooklyn - and we need your help to get the doors open. flatbushcats.org/build

We cannot adopt our way out of this crisis. Upstream is the only way. We need to expand affordable spay/neuter services and access to veterinary care. City-funded vet clinics will keep pets with their families & reduce the burden on rescue groups and our overcrowded shelters.

One thing we can all agree on - pets are family. But lately it’s getting harder to afford the basic necessities that our pets need. So we recently hosted a no-cost clinic day at Flatbush Vet, offering vaccines, microchips and even a pop-up pet food pantry.

Jablonsky had been showing up to a managed colony since December, looking for love—but no one knew who he was. Now he’s safe inside, all cuddles and nose smudge charm. Thanks to your support, he’s getting the second chance he deserves.

We found Ottavia behind some trash cans—emaciated, scared, and barely hanging on. She’s the eighth cat we’ve rescued from that spot. Now she’s thriving in her forever home, making air biscuits and soaking up sunbeams.

Skinny tabby Ayala haunted a Brooklyn trash area for weeks until a kind neighbor fed her but couldn’t offer a forever home. Now she’s safe and soaking up the good life—no more scavenging, ever. Your support makes rescues like Ayala’s possible. Thank you!

A white kitten had been hanging around a neighbor’s porch for several weeks. Alone, with no mom or siblings, he became attached to the kind person feeding him. We named him Onion, and your generosity ensured he got all the care he needed. Now he’s curled up in his forever home.

Earl had been a regular in a neighbor's yard for almost a year, and came inside after he started looking a little rough around the edges. He was suffering from entropion, a painful condition where the eyelid turns inward. Thanks to you, Earl got surgery and he is healing up!

This cat showed up scared and disoriented on a stoop. Neighbors had never seen him before, so we brought him in. No chip, not fixed. We named him Cornelius. With safety and care, he relaxed—and now he’s thriving in a loving forever home.

From day one, this crew brought the chaos, charm, and toe beans. Born in our care, Pooh, Roo & Piglet grew into bold little explorers. Mama Epicurean—just a baby herself—is now living the indoor life. The kittens will be adopted in pairs, or matched with a buddy. Thank you!

This sweet boy had been popping up at a managed colony for weeks—friendly as can be! We asked around, but no one knew where he came from. We named him Tap Shoes, and thanks to your support, he’s now inside, soaking up all the chin scritches and giving us full-on elevator butt!

This orange fellow showed up to a well-managed colony, showing a little too much curiosity towards the community cats who were just trying to mind their own business. We named him Piece of Cake and he's getting all the care and love he deserves - including breakfast in bed!

We find kittens struggling to survive year round - even in the freezing cold. This little guy was spotted wandering alone near one of our TNR projects — no mom, no siblings, just frozen food. We had to act fast. We named him Mandarin, and he got the care he needed to recover.

Earl had been showing up to a neighbor's yard for almost a year, but recently she noticed that his eyes didn't look great. After a medical exam, our vet determined that he suffered from entropion. Thankfully, Earl will get the treatment he needs to live a happy, healthy life.

This scruffy gentleman had been showing up to a neighbor's colony at mealtime for almost a year. But recently, he started looking really rough. His eyes were goopy and crusted over - he could barely open them. We named him Earl, and he's getting all the medical care he needs.

Marlow was rescued after being seen roaming the same block for weeks, running from the feral regulars and clearly out of place. He had no microchip, wasn’t fixed, and no one knew who he was. But thanks to you, he didn’t have to stay out there.

This sweetheart started showing up in a feeder's backyard, caught on a trail cam during a few of her visits. After a few weeks of watching and waiting, we were able to bring her to safety. We named her Firepit—a nod to the spot she liked to hang out near.

Big news for NYC pets: the City Council budget includes $1.5M for spay/neuter + $1M for a pet food bank. It’s not final—tell your Council Member thank you & why it matters. No script, just your story. Share to spread the word! @votersforanimalrights

Rescued from a backyard where they were searching for food, bonded tabby pair Cabin and Cottage have quickly adjusted to life indoors, discovering head scritches and regular meals - and are no longer struggling to survive outside.
